The upcoming edition of Fashion SVP in January 2019 in London will put the spotlight on knitwear and jerseywear with the launch of the new section Knit Solutions, according to organiser IDEX.

Over 40 major international producers will showcase their jerseywear casuals, traditional knits and knitted accessories in the new space on 15-16 January at the Olympia exhibition centre and the new section “will interest all brands and buyers looking for innovation and inspiration from the knitwear and jersey wear segment”, said the organiser.

The trade show is the UK’s leading event for fashion sourcing with over 120 apparel producers from 21 countries. In the June 2018 edition, it launched a new Source Denim area which is expected to double in size next season, and join knitwear as the main focus of the event.

“The relentless expansion of the UK’s only international sourcing show continues with this exciting new development. We have teamed up with the top names in international knitwear to present Knit Solutions, a curated selection of the finest knitwear production on the planet. This is very much in line with what senior buyers have been saying they would like to see more of at the show,” said Fashion SVP CEO Buzz Carter.

The two-day event provides a platform for buyers, designers, sourcing managers and retailers to source their future collections and discover new manufacturers. In addition to Knit Solutions and Source Denim, the January 2019 show will see the return of Sourcing Briefing, a series of seminars which explore topics such as trends, product development and products with industry experts.
